The International team didn’t make it easy, but the Arnold Palmer Cup is heading back to the red, white and blue.

Team USA held off a strong singles charge from the International squad Saturday to win the 2023 event 32-28 at Laurel Valley Golf Club in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, outside of Pittsburgh. The Internationals captured 15 ½ of a possible 24 points in singles, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the large lead Team USA build during Friday’s two sessions of foursomes.

The United States now leads the all-time series, 14-12-1.

Emilia Migliaccio, who recently won the NCAA title with Wake Forest, defeated her Demon Deacon teammate Lauren Walsh for Team USA’s first point in singles. Illinois’ Tommy Kuhl also won 3 and 1 against Georgia Tech’s Christo Lamprecht. Virginia’s Ben James and the Arizona State duo of Preston Summerhays and Ashley Menne all won their matches, as well, helping push Team USA to victory.

Texas Tech’s Tyran Snyders for the International team and North Florida’s Nick Gabrelcik for Team USA went 4-0 this week. Vanderbilt’s Gordon Sargent and USC’s Amari Avery moved to 4-0 when paired together during the Arnold Palmer Cup, including a 2-0 record this year.
